The newest addition to the ICSMSU is our beloved Communications Officer. They are fundamentally responsible for the upkeep and development of our brand-spanking-new ICSMSU website, so having some level of web design skills is highly recommended! They also co-ordinate publicity via our social media accounts and ICSMSU Newsletters to ensure students know what is going on.

The ICSMSU lives on even after graduation and this is achieved by the hard work and dedication of the A&C Officer. You are the vital link between the Alumni and Students. You will be given the awesome opportunity to chair the ICSM Alumni Association Executive Committee meetings. Your work will also include promoting the Association to final years.The second half of the job entails being the ex-officio ICSM Careers Society Co-ordinator.

The role of Secretary is generally underrated. Whilst they do take the minutes of various meetings - including the ICSMSU Exec, Academic Societies, Management Group and Bar Steering Group meetings - they hold all Union Officers to account by ensuring they complete all their meeting actions. They work together with the Communications Officer to produce the ICSMSU newsletter and update the ICSMSU calendar on a regular basis.

This role is one of the most respected roles in the ICSMSU. As Welfare Officer, your job is spilt into two major parts: Being proactive and reactive. In terms of being proactive, you ensure all relevant welfare information is distributed as well as co-ordinate all ICSMSU campaigns. This includes representing the School of Medicine on Imperial College Union and Faculty meetings. However the major part of the role will require you to be reactive i.e. you will either be emailing, calling or meeting with students who require assistance. You are an important first port of call for many students.

Clubs & Societies are the life-blood of ICSMSU. They define us and it’s no surprise that we have one of the highest participation rates across the College. As C&S Officer, you will support the day-to-day activities of all ICSMSU Clubs and Societies where possible.

The early years provide the essential knowledge for any medical student to progress, hence a full committee position dedicated to ensuring the quality of teaching is of a high standard. Your tasks are similar to the other Academic Officers in terms of electing Year Reps, collecting & co-ordinating feedback for the SSLGs and representing students on all relevant Faculty Education meetings and Imperial College Union committees. In addition, you are one of the first faces to welcome the new cohort of first years in!

If there’s anything ICSMSU does really well, it is our socials. If you think you are up for the challenge of putting on the best Freshers’ Fortnight ICSMSU has ever seen, step right up. As Ents Chair you oversee all ICSMSU events through the year, including but not limited to Freshers’ Fortnight,  Snow Ball, all our dinners and RAG. You chair regular meetings with the Ents Team, Dinner Chairs and the Reynolds Bar Managers.

No matter what year you are in, this is one position you should definitely apply for! You organise Freshers’ Fortnight with the Entertainment Chair and are responsible for all ICSMSU Event Publicity. Other tasks may include organising sponsorship and trialling new events for the ICSMSU Social Calendar. 

One of the biggest nights of the School of Medicine calendar is the ICSMSU Summer Ball, where previously over 1000+ guests have celebrated the achievements of our newly qualified doctors on their results night! You will be responsible for electing a strong committee to organise next year’s Ball. There will be apt time throughout the year to run various events to raise funds and promote the ICSMSU Summer Ball.

RAG Chair is probably the position that is synonymous with the word ‘Fun’. ‘Fun-draising’, that is. You have the fantastic opportunity to choose the charity that ICSMSU RAG collects for in the next academic year. There are not many opportunities in life where you can make a considerable difference to a charity and influence so many students to raise funds and awareness. It is an extremely worthwhile position. You get to elect a RAG committee to help you running all the ICSMSU favourites including all the Collects, RAG Week, RAG Valentine Ball, RAG Fashion Show and RAG Dash.

The role of the newly created Sponsorship Officer is an exciting and engaging one. In general ICSM finds it hard to gain significant sponsorship compared to our counterparts at Imperial. The Officer will not only be part of the ICSMSU Exec, but will also liaise with companies and seek sponsorship for the ICSMSU Exec as well as our Clubs and Societies.
